Section 77-7 of Deposit, N.Y., Code of Ordinances Chapter 77 establishes a range of consequences for anyone found to have violated the chapter's housing provisions. Penalties can include a $250 fine, license or permit revocation or suspension, reimbursement of the Village's compliance costs, and court-ordered injunctions. Critically, each day a violation continues is treated as a separate, independent violation, and persistent non-compliance can escalate to criminal proceedings with potential imprisonment of up to 15 days.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of dwellings subject to Chapter 77 in the Village of Deposit should be aware that Section 77-7 imposes compounding daily fines of $250 per day for each day a violation remains unresolved. Compliant operators generally address any cited deficiency promptly, since continued non-compliance can also trigger license or permit suspension and require reimbursement of the Village's enforcement costs. Allowing violations to persist significantly increases financial exposure and can ultimately result in criminal action initiated by the Village Attorney.

Section 77-7 of Deposit's Chapter 77 gives the Village meaningful enforcement tools that can benefit tenants living in substandard conditions, including the ability to seek injunctions compelling a landlord to come into compliance. Because fines accumulate on a per-day basis under this provision, ongoing violations can create substantial pressure on a landlord to remediate issues quickly. Tenants who believe their dwelling is out of compliance with Chapter 77 may consider contacting the Village directly to report conditions or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization to understand available options.
